Either case would be a win, as Neill brings the same hunger and precision to either side of the reality spectrum. That's thanks to his District 9 sensibilities suggesting some neat racing drama and killer track designs with some sci-fi flare to them. In this scenario, I’d personally hope for Neill Blomkamp to go for the more imaginative fiction route. So if there’s a hook in either of those respects, you could see Neill succeeding at making these tiny cars into a big deal. In my Gran Turismo review, I celebrated Blomkamp’s efforts to not only tell a grounded true story, but also to honor the Sony PlayStation game to which it was connected. Luckily, director Neill Blomkamp could do both. It’s a challenge that sees two solid options as a start: either find a real-life story that somehow has a clever tie into the toys, or dive head first into an imaginative pitch. The more anyone talks about Hot Wheels as a movie, the more opportunities come up for people to doubt just how you’d make a movie based on this lore-less toy brand.
